Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” — Muhammad Ali

Sometimes it can seem like an impossible task but we all have the power to make ourselves and our environments better. Being a great athlete isn’t what Ali is known and celebrated worldwide for. It’s for also standing for something, even if it meant not making money.

Today Muhammad Ali turns 69. Happy Birthday Champ!
